This adds a Routine which modifies the currently loaded palette on runtime, but by directly messing with the values in RAM instead of loading from a predefined location like area glows do. This allows it to be incredibly flexible, and it can be applied to ANY palette, be it area palettes, Samus, Beams, liquids or enemies.
It's a bit tricky to use, but once you get the hang of it, you will find yourself using it whenever possible. Be it Door glows or snazzy background cascade effects.
Watch the video if you want to see what this routine is capable of!

Edit: slightly updated the instructions, and the help image was finally made helpful! Special thanks goes to MetroidMst aka ShyGuyExpress for his tutorial on flexglows!

Edit2: Fixed an bug that surprisingly was not reported up until recently. Testing glows would work fine in quickmet, but entering a room with different glows made them stop cycling due to the timer getting stuck.

NOTE: After applying you still need to re-check your offsets again, as it's possible they might get shifted by a byte or two by the fix provided!

Basically a colon and whitespace was missing to separate opcodes, derp.
RAM addresses are changed to RAM being normally unused (enemy 32), but re-initialized to 0000 every time you enter a room, resetting the timers.

Eyecandy if used properly, seizures if not. Either way it's a great tool!

Need a subtle background glow for some atmosphere? Do you want to burn the player's eyes out? Whatever glow you need, this here can do it!

Flexglow can look scary at first, but it is extremely easy to use after you get the hang of it. It is only a matter of a few bytes to make anything, and I do mean anything, glow.

One of the resources that you must learn and use. This is going to help your hack in subtle ways, and in outrageous ways. Learning it and playing around with it are well worth the time, as with it you can unleash your inner beast upon mortals who stumble across your hack with radical glows.
